Vodka with an Edge: 4 Bottles That Redefine the Spirit

Vodka doesn’t have to play it safe. The right bottle carries history, culture, and craft in every sip—and these four brands prove it. From Italian wheat with centuries of tradition to America’s only jet-black pour, these aren’t your average vodkas. Each one has a story, a style, and a taste that stands apart, whether you drink it neat, mix it into a cocktail, or just want something bold on your shelf. Here are our four favorites making noise right now—each one standing out, the way real ink always does.

Altamura Distilleries

Altamura Distilleries Vodka isn’t just a spirit, it’s a statement.

Sip it neat or bring it to life in a sophisticated cocktail. Now the Official Vodka Partner of The World’s 50 Best Hotels, Altamura Distilleries Vodka has become a favourite weapon for the mixologist community who demand authenticity, edge and indie-cool credibility.
